Miralky’s colleagues let the dog loose after Adesanya, but the intruder kicked the dog – the kick that Miralky said urged the intruder to protect the already bristling hurricane.
“The fight went on, and this is the hard part to talk about because it’s like seeing your child go wild,” Miralky told The Standing Post.
The Hurricane was able to lead the intruder to the point where Miralki and other agents would arrest him.
“But when [Hurricane] Back, he was beaten pretty badly. He had cuts and bruises everywhere he was,” Miralkey said.

Both the Hurricane and Jordan were taken to the emergency room a few blocks from the White House, Miralkey told Standing Post. The hurricane was playing with emergency responders as they massaged them to check for injuries. This is a sign that the dog is fine.
